More Necro stuff. Of course, there's lots of neat stuff there (like the airship, which would just be.. well.. a friggin' airship, that looks like a shark and shoots "lazer" beams fro..... *ahem*... cool), but I would suppose that "plain boring" SwiftScenics stuff would have the most market potential.

Voted for the mines. I would like to see the Cave works updated, but a smaller set would hold me over while it is done. The Steampunk airship would be fantastic, but not sure when I would have time for it.

Caveworks for the versatility and usefulness in almost any setting.. sure.. the other options are all exciting, but I’m absolutely sure this will be at my gaming table several times, just like hinterlands will be (still building it). Egyptian? Sure! I will enjoy to build and set an adventure in such setting, but.. not as useful in general… The Thunderhead.. I will enjoy constructing it and showing it, as did with the maiden, even if don’t use it for play… but caveworks.. well they are a must have in a D&D Setting... (part of my building of hinterland cliffs is to use it as caves)..

I voted for Caveworks Ultimate. I really want more Mayhem modern city stuff. Seems like all the Mayhem releases recently are rehashed older sets when I would really like some new.My want list is never-ending but here are some choice "wants":- A large suspension bridge- A skyscraper set that didn't look like it came from Warhammer 40K (sorry Mayhem Corporate)- Old movie theater with marquee- A brownstone with the stairs up in front. I love to build a bunch of these for my city- Classic institution building. Something that could pass for the new york public library or a college building (yes the bank is close but I would like more variety).

I should mention that I also applaud the decision to do sets that are just the exterior of the buildings. That is all I really care about. When the model has an interior, I still buy it, but the price is higher for something I don't use.

I can only assume that given the poll choices, my wants do not sync up with the majority of customers here. No worries. I will get modding on these myself; but they won't look as nice .

I voted for the Iron Thunderhead, I need a quality airship for my bold explorers in the Lost Lands. As for the rest (in order of preference,) bold explorers need caves too and I can easily see how Caveworks and the Deadfall mines would work well together. I can even see a Dwarven Hall mine works extension. And you know Shellendrak has more than a few trapdoors and hidden passages that lead down, down, down under the black earth (bwa ha ha ha ha.) As for Pharaohs Descent what bold explorer worth his salt hasn't been to Egypt? Or a suitably Egyptian alien planet where the local overlord fancies himself a god? "Necroblock" and "wartorn" go together like "explorer" and "airship," I'll be happy to see Necroblock Lockdown. Finally, the Black Citadel sounds cool. I'll give it a look when it shows up.Sounds like a "win-win-win-win-win-win" situation to me.

I will be very curious to see what happens with the vote count and then what happens with release choices. It seems to go back and forth with the airship and the cave. It would be awesome to see both of them in the near future. (and honestly, any of the other sets)

I'm curious whether Caveworks will be TLX. The poll just tags it as "modular" which could mean something else... This is a set I'm really excited about. Chances are good I'll get some of the other sets, too, but Caveworks has me all excited

Given the modularity and extensibility of TLX, it seems a logical step to make Caveworks Ultimate TLX compatible in some way. Given that caves are far more free-form than the current TLX settings it will be interesting to see whatever ingenious solutions Denny and the WWG crew come up with for this.

Exactly! I've been thinking about 3D-add ons for the walls, and bulky extensions to glue on posts, but I think there'll be more.

A TLX cave system is my #1. It offers the greatest flexibility between fantasy, pulp,modern, and sci fi and I tend need builds in all four. You can always use a cave system, and caveworks is definitely showing it's age.

Egypt is a near #2. Once again this offers a great deal of flexibility in crossing genres. I'd like to see WWG's take on sand dunes in 3 dimensions.

Steampunk Airship is a distant #3. Neat, and I like stand alone models, but terrain is more important to me.

Castle....no. Castleworks Ultimate still holds up very well in my opinion.

Never been terribly interested in Steampunk, but the old Caveworks set was really cool. I'd be really eager to see what WWG could do with a new one using TerrainLinx. A lot of the poll options sound cool to me, though.
